DIMENSIONAL DRAWINGSMECHANICAL METER ASSEMBLY DIAGRAM AND CROSS-SECTION

• The BM Series bulkmeters consist of three mainassemblies: the manifold, body assembly androtor assembly

• The higher rating of the larger meters is achievedby bolting two or three body capsules togetherand fitting double or triple rotor assemblies with alarger manifold to suit

• A calibrating mechanism and mechanical registerare also attached to the front end cover

• The calibrating mechanism can be replaced bya front cover incorporating a pulse transmitterwhen required for electronic systems, such asMASTERLOAD II™ or MASTERLOAD III™ registers

BM METERS SPECIFICATIONSPRECISION POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT BULK FUEL METERS

While conventional meters are calibrated at only one flow rate, MASTERLOAD II™ and MASTERLOAD III™ calibration is corrected at a range of flow rates to provide the highest level of accuracy. With a multitude of calibration points across the full flow range, the system allows the user the flexibility to configure each system to suit the requirements of their specific application.

PERFORMANCEPERFORMANCE AND PRESSURE DROP CALCULATIONS

VISCOUS PRODUCTSPRESSURE DROP CHART (PSI)Avery-Hardoll bulkmeters can be used on all petroleum products of all viscosities. However, there is an increase in pressure drop with more viscous fuels, which under normal circumstances will limit the maximum flow rate obtainable.

It is recommended that the pressure drop through a bulkmeter should not exceed 15 psi (1 bar), above which the load on the bearings will start to cause wear.

Consequently when using products with viscosities above 100 centistokes (at operating conditions), it is necessary to reduce the maximum permitted flow rate. As a guide, it is suggested that the pressure drop through the meter should not exceed 10 psi (0.7 bar) for continuous running at maximum speed or 15 psi (1 bar) for continuous running at half speed.

The low pressure drop for the BM Series of Avery-Hardoll bulkmeters is displayed on the left.
